Ibanez AAM700CE-NT Natural Advanced Acoustic Platinum

The Platinum Collection in the Advanced Acoustic Line

Derived from the Advanced Acoustic series, the AAM700CE-NT embodies Ibanez's contemporary approach to acoustic luthiery: power, wide dynamics, and ergonomics. The "Platinum" version elevates these principles to the highest level, featuring selected solid woods, exemplary finish, and manufacturing details tailored for stage and studio.

For Which Musician and Uses?

Designed for intermediate to expert guitarists, this electro-acoustic excels in fingerstyle, pop, folk, blues, and modern accompaniment. The "Advanced Auditorium" body offers excellent bass/treble balance, while the cutaway facilitates access to upper frets for arrangements and solos.

Sound Characteristics

The solid Sitka spruce top provides clarity, attack, and projection, while the solid African mahogany back and sides enhance midrange warmth and spectral coherence. The X-M bracing optimizes response and sustain, and the A.I.R. port improves sound dispersion toward the player. The combination of bone nut/saddle and Macassar ebony fingerboard/bridge promotes precision, articulation, and note sustain. When plugged in, the T-bar under nut + contact pickup system delivers a natural and dynamic sound, from intimate ballads to powerful strumming.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain performance, choose a matching phosphor bronze 12-53 string set (D'Addario XTAPB1253), a spare 9V battery for the preamp, a standard capo for 6-string acoustics, a clip-on tuner, and a soundhole humidifier to stabilize the humidity of the solid woods. The hard case is already included.
